Interesting Group of Engelhard Bars

I try to just stack, but the collector part of me still comes out. I tend to look at things closley instead of just a passing glance.
Here is a group of maple leaf Engelhard 1oz that I found very interesting. Hope you do too.

The first two aren't anything special.
A type 1 plain back with no rim on the back

A type 2 plain back with a rim on the back.

At first glance this looks like another type 2, but take a closer look at the size of the lettering and logo. They are noticably larger.
The logo nearly touches the top rim. Could this be a type 3? This isn't shown on AboutAGs site and there are no serial numbers listed this high for the
maple leaf type, except the last bar here.

This is a return to the type 2 with higher serial numbers than the last bar.

Things stay interesting with this one. It looks just like a type 1 but the serial number is the highest of the group.

The last two bars serial numbers are within a few hundred of each other. It would have been cool to have consecutive bars with different backs.
Well now I've got the nerdiness out of my system for now.
